What’s Working Now: 2021 Homeschool Routine for Multiple Children

January 26, 2021 No Comments

I shared recently that we’re focusing on essentials so I can heal, but our homeschool routine hasn’t supported this goal very well! My husband wants me to keep teacher-time within our morning block. That way, I have the full afternoon for a balance of work and rest.
